Before Li Yong's words were finished, the emperor's fierce gaze swept over.

"Hmm..."

Li Yong suddenly let out a cry of pain, his hands covering his chest, and his expression was very painful.

A glance that scared him? The emperor thought to himself that his son should not be so timid, right? The next moment, I saw blood oozing from Li Yong's clothes, and I suddenly understood that the old injury had recurred.

"Hurry up and announce the Imperial Doctor."

"Send the eldest prince back first, and let Imperial Doctor Hu come over for treatment."

Several guards hurriedly came in and helped Li Yong out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Thinking of the position where Li Yong was covering the wound just now, it was Xiao Ling's slight stab before, the hatred in the emperor's heart rose again, and the eyes that looked at Yang Bohan were different.

Zhen Guogong is very familiar with this gaze of the emperor, he has seen it before the emperor becomes the emperor, whenever this gaze appears on the emperor's face, it means that the emperor is going to go his own way.

Zhen Guogong thought for a while, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, many people have seen what happened on the execution ground, and at this time, it must have spread all over the capital. Xiao Linhui and his wife did not commit a crime in the first place, but now they committed suicide, and the people have complained a lot.

"If their bodies are hung on the city gates again, I am afraid that it will cause public outrage..."

"Who said they didn't commit a crime, they harbored the thief Xiao Lingwei." The Emperor roared.

Zhen Guogong lowered his head and whispered: "Xiao Lingwei did not draw a confession, we don't have enough evidence..."

The emperor opened his mouth to say how there was not enough evidence, but when he touched Yang Bohan's gaze, he swallowed back the words in a stupid manner.

Everyone knows that those evidences were fabricated by him, and the officials are not stupid, and they can naturally see it if they dig a little deeper. If it goes a little too far, maybe it will cause dissatisfaction among the officials, and when the time comes, he will remove his fig leaf and make everything public, so how else will he be the emperor?

Although the emperor is angry, at the critical moment, he can still distinguish the severity, a Xiao Lingwei is naturally not as good as thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

Of course, Xiao Lingwei still has to be killed.

"What Zhen Guogong said is very true, then return the bodies of Xiao Linhui and his wife to the Xiao family, and let the Xiao family deal with it themselves."

Yang Bohan stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, the Xiao family has expelled Xiao Linhui from the house, and the body cannot be sent back to the Xiao family. ”

The emperor looked over: "Then what do you want to do?" ”

Yang Bohan said: "Although Xiao Linhui is no longer the Xiao family, he is my sister-in-law, please allow Your Majesty to allow the Yang family to hold a funeral for the little sister and brother-in-law." ”

Whether the Xiao family is holding a funeral or the Yang family is holding a funeral, the emperor doesn't care at all, he waved his hand casually: "Yes." ”

Xiao Lingfeng hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, that minister's wife and children, as well as his younger siblings and nephews... They're going to keep a vigil for their father's mother..."

These are not the emperor's concerns, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Let them go." ”

"Thank you, Lord Long."

Thinking of the news he had just received, the emperor reminded Xiao Lingfeng: "Xiao Aiqing had better be prepared, I just received the news that it was Madame and Ling Lang... They all seem to be dead..."

What the?

Xiao Lingfeng and Xiao Lingyun were startled, glanced at each other, and ran out.

"Hey, you..." Hai Gongcheng wanted to reprimand them for not having rules, but he was frightened by Yang Bohan's eyes.

Yang Bohan retracted his gaze and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, they have heard the bad news and have been hit hard, so they will be rude in front of the emperor, please forgive your Majesty." ”

The Emperor said generously, "This is natural, I can understand it, but there should be no next time." ”

But in his heart, he asked Han Da to poison Xiao Linhui and Yang Huijun last night, and didn't let Han Da poison others, could it be that Han Da made his own decision and poisoned others?

"Go down too."

After the emperor took Yang Bohan away, he issued an order to Zhenguo Gong: "Order the three armies to kill Xiao Lingwei with all their might, pass the order, and all the prefectures along the way will strictly review it, once Xiao Lingwei's traces are found, there is no need to report it, and kill him on the spot." ”

"Yes." Zhen Guogong went down to do things.

There is only one person left in the hall, and that is Li Xuan.

The Emperor stared at Li Xuan's face tightly, not letting go of any expression on his face, "I just want to know, was today's defeat an accident or a deliberate sabotage?" ”

Li Xuan knew what the emperor was suspicious of, and he had already been mentally prepared, so he looked directly at the emperor frankly and said in a flat tone: "If my father suspects, I can say it directly." ”

The Emperor asked, "Don't you have anything to explain to me?" ”

Li Xuan's face did not change: "The situation on the execution ground and the subsequent pursuit and killing of Xiao Lingwei, my father already knows it clearly, what else can my son explain?"

"If my father believes me, even if I don't say anything, my father will believe me.

"If my father doesn't believe me, even if I say it, my father will still not believe me.

"So, what do I have to say?"

"You..." The emperor was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he didn't have the words to refute him, walked a few steps in the hall, and suddenly pointed outside and said: "You kneel outside for me, I won't get up until I tell you to get up." ”

Gonggong Hai reminded the emperor in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's still raining outside..."

"Yes, Father." Li Xuan stood up, walked to the open space outside the hall without hesitation, and knelt down straight.

The emperor, who had hesitated when he heard Gonggong Hai's words, immediately became even more angry when he saw Li Xuan's attitude of not being afraid of heaven and earth, and shouted: "Let him get drenched in the rain and let his brain be sober and sober, so that he doesn't know what his surname is." ”

Gonggong Hai couldn't bear it and persuaded: "Your Majesty, how can it be, His Royal Highness has always been very clear about who he is. Didn't you also hear that His Royal Highness was really ruthless and spared no effort to kill Xiao Lingwei.

"Xiao Lingwei's personal ring was killed by the arrow of the Fourth Highness, if it weren't for the injury of the Fourth Highness, which affected the archery skills, that arrow would definitely have hit Xiao Lingwei at that time."

Seeing that the emperor's face softened, Gonggong Hai continued: "So, the Fourth Highness is still facing Your Majesty. ”

The Emperor did not speak, but walked behind the bookcase and looked at the recital.

After a while, he was still immersed in the correction and correction, but suddenly said a sentence: "In half an hour, send His Royal Highness back to his house." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hai Gonggong responded loudly.

And when Li Xuan knelt down outside the hall, Pingfu, who was waiting under the corridor, also rushed to his side and knelt down with a "poof".

Li Xuan whispered, "What are you doing here?" ”

Pingfu said with a smile: "The masters have all knelt down, and of course the subordinates must also kneel." ”

"What are you kneeling on, why don't you go back and help?"

"Master, are you stupid by the rain? At this time, the subordinates will definitely be seen by His Majesty that there is a problem when they go back, and there are Wang Ji and Chaodong in the house, so there will be no problem. Besides, isn't there still Uncle Huan, don't worry. ”

"You..." Li Xuan was so angry that he raised his hand and knocked him on the head, and sneered: "You can do it, now you dare to scold me?" ”

Pingfu obediently took it and pulled the corners of his mouth: "I'm sorry, master, my subordinates just said that they slipped their mouths, and accidentally said what the master usually trained his subordinates." ”

Li Xuan was choked again: "... Is this my fault? ”

"No, no, no, everything is the fault of the subordinates, and everything the master says is right..."
